Corporate America in action - a company that started out just as a sort of middleman between people using their own cars to shuttle around paying passengers and people who were willing to pay for a ride is now moving to eliminate human drivers.

I believe that was always the endgame, and the only way they become profitable.
They were profitable from the beginning.
The "problem" was that the original business model didn't generate enough revenue to pay for obscene salaries and perks and lavish offices for a full complement of executive weasels, so they've been changing the business model and dicking the drivers over progressively more virtually from rhe day they first incorporated.
This is just a sort of ultimate step in that ongoing process - the final conversion of a company that started out serving the needs of the drivers and customers ending up entirely directed toward satisfying the greed of a relative handful pf psychopathic shitstains who contribute absolutely nothing of any actual value.
Like I said, corporate America in action...
